Bethesda and Splash Damage are teaming up to deliver a class based first-person shooter called Brink.

Overview

Brink is a class based first-person shooter in development at Splash Damage in partnership with Bethesda Softworks taking place in a sci-fi environment. It's been defined in an interview as a "genre-breaker" and "real killer app". The game's quality is promised to be "along the same lines as Fallout 3" and that "so many innovative features" will be present in the title.

Richard Ham, creative director at Splash Damage, describes Brink as taking place on The Ark, a prototype utopian city designed for perfect sustainability and green living. Intended to support five thousand people, the ecological collapse of the rest of the world requires it to support fifty thousand or more. Thirty years after this disaster, an entire generation has grown up living shoulder to shoulder on The Ark. The super-rich live the life of luxury, "within spitting distance," of the poor. As our player character joins the game, the society stands on the brink of civil war.

The title will attempt to blur the lines between single and multi-player first person shooter gameplay, by carefully teaching single players how to work as a team with the rest of their AI driven squadmates, and then gently encourage them to play missions online with human partners. Also included is the SMART (Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain) system, which with a push of a button will assist the player in traversing difficult terrain in order to focus on shooting and, "fun."
